The Tuesday before Christmas I had two scans. This next part is important to me and I don’t know why but maybe someone can explain it to me. I never got out of the tube/off the bed. They started with the lumbar, came in and put the cage/camera on for the brain, did non contrast, add the contrast for the brain, came in took the cage off and put the camera pad on for the lumbar. I received the results fairly quickly for the brain. That’s the part I don’t understand. I got the results back for the brain (stable) but had to wait for the lumbar.
Yesterday (more like Sunday at this point), we got the results back of the lumbar. Although, I was suspecting I wasn’t ready to read it. But it explains my increased back pain, exhaustion, spine pain, body aches. I kept telling myself that it was from the stomach bug. But I’m not 100% sure that’s the case.
The good news is that I start my new treatment in a week. The plan (and approvals) were already in place prior to getting the results back. The new treatment will also target the lmd and hopefully stop it from growing.
So here I am ringing in the new year with treatment scheduled on Tuesday and scared out of my mind. Scared for what the future holds, scared for my boys and Bryan, scared of the pain that is going to come, and scared of the side effects of the new meds. But it will all be okay. I want to get this post up and then I am going g to focus on a post about the new year
